From Mexico with Love Page #6

Wait, who's El Angelito?

Angelito!

Can you go

another couple of rounds?

- With who?

- New kid.

Yeah, okay.

You got guts, kid.

I'll tell you that.

Holy sh*t.

Wait, who are you?

I work your corner.

Don't worry.

Hands up, chin down, got it?

Got it.

Hands up, chin down!

Whose side is she on?

Stay focused.

Here you go.

Time!

Go on.

So, how'd it go?

You can have the back room.

Hey, where are you going?

Hey, Robert.

Hey. Hola, Maria.

Cmo estas?

Bien gracias.

Do you speak Spanish?

Un poquito.

Y'all, uh, quiere agua?

Yeah, sure.

There you go.

Thanks.

This is beautiful.

You like it? Yeah, it's nice.

You haven't seen the property?

Come on,

let me show you around.

You see that tree right there?

My great-granddaddy

planted that.

That's how we tell

if it's going to be a good season.

And how is that?

Well, peaches

are really fickle to weather.

Every time this tree

bears good fruit,

we strike gold out in the fields.

The thing is, great-granddad

never let a man pick from this tree.

Always said that women

had softer hands

that wouldn't bruise the fruit.

I think that's a prize one

right there.

Come on.

There you go.

Now, I think you should be the one

to take the first bite this year.

Maria and I

have to get groceries for dinner.

Then I'll give you a ride into town.

How about that?

- Okay.

- AII right.

You know what?

Give me a minute.

I'm going

to go get changed, okay?

Why did you say yes?

I know what I'm doing.

Hey, you're supposed

to be in the ring with Ollie.

Ollie's useless, Dad.

Thought you said you were

going to get me a new trainer?

I'm working on it.

Okay.

What's going on with that girl?

Nothing.

Just having a little fun, okay?

Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

You listen to me, Robert,

and listen good.

I don't intend to spend

the rest of my life here,

and unless you do,

you better keep your eye on the prize.

Your grandfather saddled me

with that pile of dirt out there.

Everything I got

is tied up in it and you.

That's why I ride you so hard,

you understand?

I know, Dad.

All right.

Let me teach you

a little something about boxing.

You see,

it's all in the combinations.

Jab, cross, uppercut, hook.

You do that right,

the other guy

will never know what hit him.

What if someone hits you first?

Well, the only ones

who get close enough to hit me

are usually just beautiful women.

They all fall

for that crap, huh?

Who's that?

The other girls you've been with.

Yeah, pretty much.

Listen, we're having a party

up at the house tonight.

You should come on up.

It'll be fun.

I want you to come.

I can't. I have to make dinner.

After dinner.

We're not getting started till late.
